3. Tackle Shielded Demons With Ease

Years of playing Halo and blasting Jackals to kingdom might have taught you one thing: look for the gap in their shield, and shoot there.

Whilst this tactic mostly works in DOOM, in more crowded rooms or especially on higher difficulties, you're going to need to vary up your tactics to avoid sticking in one place, just for that specific shot.

As such, simply sprint up to them and leap straight over their heads. Landing on the other side will see them continue to fire where you used to be (as they have no animation to deal with you in mid-air), opening them up perfectly for a volley of counter-fire.
